Changes

The next day at school, the teacher [[Ms. Chono]] found the puzzle on Miho's desk and confiscated it. As she found out it was a love letter, she read it to the class and offered the sender a chance to confess or face expulsion. Although owning up would still result in expulsion. Yugi claimed to have wrote it and Jonouchi claimed to have sent it, so Honda can still have a chance with Miho. However Honda also claimed it was from him. Chono continued the puzzle to find out who really sent it and planned to punish the others for lying. [[Dark Yugi (manga)|Dark Yugi]] emerged and turned the jigsaw into [[Ms. Chono's Shadow Game|a Shadow Game, [[Dark Puzzle]]; as Chono continued to complete the puzzle, she felt the pain she was inflicting on others by doing it. The makeup on her face began to peel away, revealing her true ugly self. Chono then fleed the room, sparing the boys any trouble.<ref name="duel 7" />

Honda accompanied Jonouchi when he bought new top of the range shoes at the [[Junky Scorpion]]. Honda didn't see how such a fuss could be made out of shoes and tried to talk Jonouchi out of taking the [[Junky Scorpion owner|store owner's]] test of putting his foot into a shoe, believed to have a scorpion in it. After leaving the shop, Honda, Jonouchi and Yugi were attacked from behind, by [[Muscle Hunters|a gang]] who stole Jonouchi's shoes. They tracked down the gang afterwards. Jonouchi and Honda beat up the gang, who told them they were paid by the store owner. Dark Yugi played [[Dark Yugi and the Junky Scorpion owner's Shadow Game|a gamecoin in sneaker]] with the store owner, resulting in Yugi returning to Jonouchi and Honda with the shoes, unaware of how he got them back.<ref>{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh!|8|ref}}</ref>

Honda started to worry when Jonouchi missed a day of school. Unable to recall Jonouchi ever missing school before, he suspected something was wrong. He, Yugi and [[Anzu Mazaki (manga)|Anzu]] investigated by visiting Jonouchi's apartment, but fled after [[Mr. Jonouchi|Jonouchi's father]] yelled at them mistaking them for Jonouchi. They continued to search for Jonouchi and found him with [[Hirutani's gang]], who were attacking someone outside the [[American Club]]. Afterwards Honda told Yugi and Anzu about Jonouchi's past with [[Hirutani]] and the three of them agreed that Jonouchi wouldn't have willingly rejoined the gang. Honda later interrogated [[Hirutani Minion B|one of the members]] into telling them why Jonouchi rejoined; He had been blackmailed, with [[Hirutani]] threatening to beat-up members of Jonouchi's class. Honda went to [[J'z]] in search of the gang, but found the place in a mess, with [[Hirutani Minion A|one unconscious member]] of the gang. Unable to get him to wake-up, Honda, Anzu and Yugi suspected Jonouchi was in trouble and split-up to find him. Honda later found Yugi tending to Jonouchi, after [[Dark Yugi (manga)|Dark Yugi]] defeated the gang in [[Dark Yugi and Hirutani's gang's Shadow Game|defeatedLandmine Search Network]] the gang, unbeknownst to everyone else.<ref>{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh!|11|ref}}</ref><ref>{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh!|12|ref}}</ref>
